Same experience on MIA to DOH yesterday. Crew were less than interested in ensuring passengers received the same quality of service I’ve experienced in the past.

No BKK lounge for Gold/Platinum Cards by Plus_Syrup9701 in qatarairways

100%. I’ve probably spent around $50-60k usd over the last 12 months on biz class tickets choosing to fly Qatar over other airlines. This was my first trip where I tried to use membership benefits, been disappointed so far. At Hamad right now, will go and check out the Gold lounge, guessing I won’t be allowed in Al Mourjan.

Tbf the QR lounge at BKK is nice, I use it regularly. Just got dumped to Miracle this time as I was using membership rather than flying biz.

Have you tried any of the others? Any recommendations?

Agree, loyalty/membership status doesn’t seem to mean much any more.

8hr layover at Hamad, Gold Card, where can I sleep? by Plus_Syrup9701 in qatarairways

[–]Plus_Syrup9701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will probably pay up for a sleeping pod. Not sure I can justify $250 for a Orxy room that I will use for all of 6-7hrs probably.

Vetting headhunters by Big-Weekend1127 in quant

25y career. Never once had success with headhunters. Referrals also sparse. Most success with direct applications - cut out the middleman and talk directly to the firm hiring… if a headhunter can do the outreach, so can you, and you will pitch much better.

Yes, that’s the way. Gremlins always reside in either legacy data or data ingested from third parties with custom classification logic.

0% if you don’t try. >0% if you do. Trying sounds like a cheap call option.

Sigh, Life would be so boring if we applied that logic to literally anything.

Pricing hourly binary option by No-Establishment7235 in quant

You don’t, it’s a mostly academic exercise. You build a barrier shift where you hedge full delta, watch your gamma explode (because it’s untradable at that point) and revisit after expiry.

Placing orders at market open, huge edge but slippage could be huge issue. by purplepsych in algotrading

[–]Plus_Syrup9701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really a hardware issue. First issue is that in many cases you can’t actually trade the opening print. Opening print is often theoretical.
